As part of my role, I enjoy connecting with our individual, community and changemaker supporters. There are many ways that I facilitate our community of supporters. Would you like to start making contributions to Youth Music? Are you someone taking part in a race, marathon, quiz, or other fundraising event and want to do this in aid of us? Are you putting on a gig and want to know how you can donate to Youth Music? Would you like to raise funds in memory of a loved one? If you're interested in supporting us in any of these ways, or have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out via email!
